Very much agree! We're very friendly with the folks at EdgeDB, have lots of overlap of contributors. They're part of the inspiration behind PRQL [1].
To focus on the differences for a moment:
* PRQL is focused on analytical queries, whereas the genesis of EdgeDB was on transactional queries (though I know Yury & the team are building out more analytical capabilities)
* PRQL works with any existing database — you can query any tables you have today — and using PRQL doesn't preclude you or your colleagues from using SQL. In exchange for that openness & simplicity, we give up some functionality — we don't yet know the types of all your columns, for example. TBC, EdgeDB has improved on this dimension since their initial product — it's been able to run on a vanilla Postgres instance for a while now, no extensions needed.
